Explaining the continuum of care

Your young adult is living with substance use which means they are likely behind where they should be in life. You’re unsure what their future holds. They’ve lost their way. They need an expert’s intervention and effective treatment.

We are experts in recovery for young adults:

  • 45 unique, age-specific programs
  • Multiple evidence-based treatment modalities
  • 1 to 8 licensed therapist-to-client ratio
  • Administered by 400+ mental health and addiction professionals

Our expert care team will help them make positive changes to get their life back on track. Our 400+ treatment providers are prepared to answer all your questions and design a program to meet your loved one’s needs. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to substance use treatment for young adults. Our programs vary in length, flexibility, and the evidence-based treatment modalities we use. We offer a wide spectrum of programs including detox, sober living, and outpatient treatment.

Through thorough clinical assessments, our licensed therapists and medical professionals gain a deeper understanding of your loved one’s background, challenges, and goals. From there, specific treatment plans are created that address problems that lead to substance use. Problems you may or may not be aware of.

  • Depression
  • Unresolved trauma
  • Anxiety
  • Personality disorders
  • Reduced motivation
  • Hopelessness and a lack of direction
  • Lack of vocational or educational opportunities

Often, young adults arrive with underdeveloped life skills. Young adults who have been experiencing years of substance use may not have the skills to be successful in recovery. That is why our clients are taught practical life skills in our programs.

  • Budgeting and money management
  • Techniques to gain and keep employment
  • Self-care and hygiene
  • Exercise and eating well
  • Handling conflict
  • Setting and reaching goals

Other young adults are more prepared, so we also help with advanced life skills.

  • Vocational training
  • Maintaining a household
  • Family skills and programming
  • Medication management
  • Healthy relationships
  • Aftercare and ongoing support

Recovery for life starts here. No matter the challenge, we have a program to help. Find treatment centers near you below.

Our Transitional Living Program combines the structure of treatment and group living, with the freedom of living away from home.

This level of care is for young adults (18-30) who are not quite ready to heal from home. Our young adult residential treatment provides a safe and supportive living environment integrated with a PHP or IOP level of care. Here, you’ll learn life skills and healthy recovery strategies in an environment that’s set up for your success.

Our Young Adult Day Treatment Program, also known as Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), is a highly structured level of care for young adults that offers five days of robust programming a week.

Our two distinct mental health and substance use tracks help young adults to stabilize, begin to understand their mental health and/or addiction struggles, and heal from them. We strive to help our clients become more like the person they want to be without using negative coping strategies or substances to get there.

Effective Dual Diagnosis Treatment For Ages 18-30

Did you know that addictions rarely occur in the absence of a mental health condition? In this context, these conditions are known as “co-occurring disorders.” Left untreated, they can worsen the cycle of substance use, which can make it feel impossible to climb your way out of your addiction.

Underlying mental health or behavioral disorders can include depression, anxiety, and even personality disorders. Using evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT in therapy sessions, our clinical team focuses on helping identify and improve these underlying concerns, to address addiction from all directions.

Treatments Built Just For You

Navigating substance use and mental health requires specialized expertise, and that’s why we’ve developed distinct treatment tracks for each.

We understand that these challenges are unique, and a one-size-fits-all approach just doesn’t cut it. Our tailored programs ensure that from the outset, you’re on a path designed specifically for your needs.

Whether you’re interested in our mental health programs or our substance abuse treatment, our dedicated team can get you on the road to long-term healing and wellness.

How to Support a Struggling Young Adult

If someone you love is struggling with mental health or substance use, you might feel helpless. However, it’s crucial to recognize that they aren’t alone on this journey, and neither are you.

Our programs extend support to the whole family every step of the way, acknowledging that your well-being matters too. We understand that the impact of addiction and mental health issues send fractures far beyond the person who is struggling.

By providing family therapy and multi-family support groups, we ensure that everyone receives the necessary support and guidance. Families will learn how to communicate needs, set boundaries, and build relationships on trust.

FAQs

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

Our goal is to provide the most helpful information. Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions. We are open and available to help in any way we can.

The amount of treatment you need is highly personal and depends on your specific situation. At Sandstone Care, we approach treatment by considering you as a whole person rather than just focusing on isolated substance use or mental health disorders.

Our comprehensive assessments will be able to determine how much treatment you need and for how long. It’s important to us that our young adult mental health and substance use programs are tailored to meet your unique needs.

IOP stands for “Intensive Outpatient Program.” This highly flexible level of care involves just 16 hours per week of treatment, so you can keep up with your school or work obligations while receiving recovery services. It’s a great way to get the help you need without causing major disruptions to your daily life.

At our rehab centers, you’ll find a community of like-minded young adults who are also on the path to healing. Many of them might be experiencing similar mental health issues as those that you have faced, or grappling with substance dependency.

However, as healthcare providers, the safety and well-being of everyone in our care is our top priority. Severe conditions or behavioral issues that might disrupt the treatment environment are carefully screened out during the admissions process. This ensures that everyone in treatment is a good fit for the supportive and nurturing community we create at Sandstone.

Both our mental health programs and our substance abuse treatment have multiple levels of care that provide treatment at various intensities. During your introductory assessment, a psychiatrist will be there to listen to your story and determine the most appropriate level of care for you.

Whether it’s our Residential Treatment Program for a more intensive experience, Day Treatment for structured support, or the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for a step-down approach that allows you to manage daily commitments – the goal is to find the perfect fit that supports your journey to wellness.
